• There are clear geographic differences in event rates over time
• Seasonal differences are also marked and may relate to the reported Influenza seasonal disease Incident population do not show seasonality because they enter at different times of the year
• Trends in event rates should be a major focus within providers and regions to ensure progress is made across the board!

Hospitalization patterns• Geographic variation is striking and needs attention
• Rising rates for fluid overload, C. Diff infections and GI bleeding
• Seasonal changes in hospitalizations are wide spread across the major organ systems
• The relationship between the seasonal events and the influenza season with virulence needs to be recognized Improved prevention is needed: vaccination with high intensity
dosing
Respiratory infection control procedures may be needed
• Trends in hospitalizations for GI bleeding are rising!

| 36Peer Report: Dialysis Care & Outcomes in the U.S., 2014 | Hospitalization
Mortality Trends and Targets for Improvement• Major improvements have occurred in death rates in the first year in incident and prevalent populations!
• The steady decline in mortality rates makes cross sectional assessments of providers by Standardized Ratios challenging to interprete
• In fact, the improvements mean the relative position of any provider compared to others likely change little because all are moving
• Trends in outcomes are a better public health assessment tool and used by Healthy People 2020 and WHO to set targets for improvement.
What about Geographic Variation in mortality?

Trends in Mortality
• Regional differences in first year incident and prevalent mortality rates are greater than previously considered
• The East North Central Census Division has issues with not only hospitalizations noted above but also incident first year mortality
Regional and State level assessments are needed
Provider groups need to improve regional outcomes by defining specific action areas

Cause of death in prevalent dialysis patients
Sudden Cardiac Death is a major issue and is proportionally highest
in the younger population which
should have better survival
| 44Peer Report: Dialysis Care & Outcomes in the U.S., 2014 | Hospitalization
Issues to consider with Sudden Death: Perfect Storm
• QT Interval prolongation potentially induced iatrogenically Dialysate baths
Low K <2.5 mEq/l Low Ca <2.5 mg/dl Low Mg ≤1.0 mEq/l High HCO3 >38 mEq/l
Dialyzable Beta Blockers and ACE‐Is Medications
Antibiotics known to prolong QT: Quinones, Macrolids Proton Pump Inhibitors Antidepressants

| 46Peer Report: Dialysis Care & Outcomes in the U.S., 2014 | Hospitalization
Conclusions-1• There have been major improvements in the survival and hospitalization rates in the dialysis population over the last decade
• New information on trends and geographic variation provide opportunities to define new areas for improvement and potentially best practices
• Seasonal disease patterns provide opportunities to define potential prevention strategies and interventions
| 47Peer Report: Dialysis Care & Outcomes in the U.S., 2014 | Hospitalization
Conclusions-2• Infections, GI Bleeding and fluid overload hospitalizations are increasing
• Sudden death is not just an elderly patient issue but impacts the youngest population and needs to be addressed.
• Peer sets a new direction for assessing and advancing care of the kidney disease population

Right TraCTM Care Transitions Program
A Quality Improvement Program ofFresenius Medical Care North America
• Collaborators: WVMI Quality Insights QIN‐QIO & Mid‐Atlantic Renal Coalition (ESRD Network 5)
• Program Goal: Reduce hospital readmissions for hemodialysis patients
FMCNA Proprietary and Confidential Information 2
Who’s Accountable?Standardized Readmissions Ratio (SRR)
• CMS PPS‐QIP 2015 Final Rule and the PPS‐QIP 2016 Proposed Rule
• NEW clinical measure for PY 2017► Inclusion under the Patient and Family Engagement/Care
Coordination Subdomain with an individual weight of 10% for PY 2018 and PY 2019
• Areas of concern: ► Inconsistencies with SMR and SHR► Impact of physician level admitting patterns► Reliable HIE
FMCNA Proprietary and Confidential Information 3
Is the Current Metric Fair?Calculating Readmission Rates
• Per‐Enrollee or Per‐Admission? ► Readmission rates usually reported on a per‐admission basis► The readmission rate for a group of people is the number of
readmissions counted (by any method) divided by the total number of admissions
• For performance benchmarking and tracking:► Also useful to measure readmissions on a per‐person basis
• “The simplest way to reduce the risk of readmission in a population is to reduce the need for patients to be admitted to a hospital in the first place”

Conclusions
• Hospital readmissions did not decrease significantly more in the RightTrac clinics compared to controls until the 90 day time point, although total admissions did decrease at all time points
• Yet, both hospital admissions and readmissions went down significantly in the RightTrac clinics
• Specific interventions had more impact than others in these results

SRR – A reappraisal• Numerator is the dialysis facility’s number of discharges followed by an unplanned
readmission within 30 days
• Denominator is the expected number of readmissions using regression adjustments for patients, random effects for hospital characteristics, and fixed effects for facilities
• Decline in hospitalizations may occur without a decline in readmissons
• Who’s accountable:– Nephrologist > Hospital > Facility
• Impact of socioeconomic factors– Poverty– Local capacity for health care– Current issues with the HRRP
FMCNA Proprietary and Confidential Information 19
SRR – A reappraisal
• Key processes for improvement:– Reassessment of dry weight– Medication reconciliation– Assessment of recovery from the acute illness and medical stability
– Determination of necessary follow‐up
• Role of the Care Transition coordinator
• Involvement of the nephrologist

Take Home Messages Regarding Health Disparities
Take Home Messages Regarding Health Disparities
1. Disparities exist in health status, access to care, quality of care, and health outcomes, there is still much we don’t know, due to a lack of data.
2. Regardless of how they fair in the aggregate, all racial groups have problems.
3. Racial groups are not monolithic, and health differs within racial groups.
4. Cost of not addressing disparities is large and apt to get worse, as the population changes.
5. Many factors aside from race impact health and health care.
6. A myriad of efforts are underway to address disparities, but we still have a long way to go to eliminate disparities.

The Importance of Resilience When change is thrust upon us, it often pushes us out of a place of comfort, control, and complacency (Comfort and Control in the model below). Change introduces instability into this safe environment by attempting to pull apart the personal, social, and organizational structures that provide us clarity, direction, and cohesion.
When we are pushed out of this “comfort zone,” we are likely to experience confusion, anxiety, self-doubt, anger, and fear. Many of the old rules, pathways, structures, and methods of the past have been taken away. Resilience gives us the capacity to more effectively deal with the uncertainty of this chaotic place (Fear, Anger, and Resistance). Without resilience, the anxiety that emerges can erode our personal effectiveness and job performance, create higher levels of distrust and resistance, and decrease our ability to find the “hidden opportunity” that is essential if we are to make the change work for ourselves and the organization. Resilience enables us to complete the change journey by finding integrative, forward-looking solutions (Inquiry, Experimentation and Discovery) and embracing the structures of the new and emerging world (Learning, Acceptance, and Commitment).

Human Nature and the Character of Change . . . There are certain characteristics of being human that pose a special challenge when change ― especially radical or traumatic change ― occurs.
1. People find comfort in being able to maintain control over the events and circumstances of their lives. The most basic and fundamental level in Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs represents this core characteristic of human nature. Satisfying this basic need gives people a sense of stability, security and safety.
2. With this basic need being met, people develop self-confidence and psychological health and integration by building stable and effective relationships with others.
3. Much of our sense of control, comfort, and psychological well-being results from the degree of certainty we have about the path of our life. When our experience matches our own expectations about our future, we feel a measure of control and certainty.
4. Change disrupts our ability to predict with certainty what’s in store for us tomorrow. When change threatens our capacity to envision our own future, when it seems to jeopardize our future safety and security, and when it jeopardizes our relationships with others, we can be plunged into insecurity, self-doubt, confusion, fear, anxiety, and even depression.
5. The more that a given change or set of changes disrupts our sense of self and our ability to envision our future with a degree of certainty, the more confusion, fear, anxiety, and self-doubt we are likely to experience.
6. Resilience gives us the capacity to survive — even thrive in — a radically changing environment.

The Characteristics of Resilient People
The Eight Dimensions of Resilience
_______________________________: Display a sense of security and self-assurance that acknowledges that life is complex and challenging but filled with opportunity. Develop a positive outlook about yourself, your work unit or team, the organization, and life in general.
________________________: Develop a clear vision of what you want to achieve or accomplish and where you want to go in your job, career, and life. Identify what you believe, what you value, and what you need to do to translate your personal and professional goals into reality. This dimension can include your faith and spirituality.
_______________________________: Be sensitive to the forces of change. Demonstrate adaptability and flexibility in the face of uncertainty and stress. Accept the need to shift and redefine (if necessary) your direction, focus, and vision as you learn new information from the environment, peers, customers, family, and other sources.
________________________: Develop personalized methods, structures, and systems for organizing and managing the confusion, chaos, and ambiguity. Develop stable structures to ride out a turbulent storm. If necessary, focus on one day, one week, one project, etc. at a time.
______________________________: Develop the capacity to effectively think through and resolve personal and professional problems. See problems as challenges and opportunities. Fine-tune your skills of collaboration with others and such fundamental skills as critical, systemic, and creative “out-of-the-box” thinking.
__________________________________________: Demonstrate responsiveness, empathy, and caring for others. This quality also involves communicating effectively with others, displaying a sense of humor—an ability to laugh at yourself, and valuing diverse perspectives.
________________________________: Build bridges and form partnerships with the people around you. Work with others to discover ways to make sense of the changing environment. Share ideas, solutions, problems, frustrations, opportunities, and accomplishments. Focus on discovering areas of common ground and answers to common problems.
________________________: Engage change directly rather than denying, fighting, or working against it. Accept that change is inevitable, growth is optional, and find a way to make it work FOR you. Focus on what YOU can do, not on what others are doing to you. Actively work to improve or positively influence an unwelcome change.

Identifying Risk for Violence in a Dialysis or Transplant Facility
Joel Lashley Vistelar Conflict Prevention and ManagementMilwaukee, WI
Working in the healthcare profession should not require you to be a victimHealthcare is by far the most violent profession. Nearly seven in every ten non-fatal assaults on American workers that are serious enough to result in time off from work are perpetrated against healthcare workers. But does it really have to be that way?
If you are a healthcare provider, this workshop will change the way you think and feel about workplace violence. More impor-tantly, the strategies you’ll learn will keep you safer.
At this 1:00 PM breakout session, Joel Lashley will share how to identify behaviors that are likely precursors to violence and specific “non-escalation” strategies to prevent emotional or physical violence from erupting.
Joel will walk through the process of creating environmentsof care that are less compatible with anti-social and aggressive behaviors while being more compatible with patientcollaboration and better patient outcomes.
In addition, you will learn: • How to form therapeutic relationships that are incompatible with violence • How the same strategies that support peaceful environments also increase patient satisfaction • How traditional beliefs about violence and crisis intervention strategies have actually contributed to the problem of violence in healthcare

Recognizing Violencewhat people look and sound like before they attack
STAMP—pattern of behavior that indicates a patient may be escalating towards violence • Staring and Eye Contact (conspicuously ignoring, thousand-yard stare, staring you down, Tone and Volume of Voice (yelling, cursing, angry tone) • Anxious Behaviors (rocking, exaggerated fidgeting or “Stimming”) • Mumbling (talking under the breath or talking to self ) • Pacing (won’t or can’t stay seated)
(STAMP developed by Dr. Lauretta Luck, University ofWestern Sydney School of Nursing and Midwifery)
Pre-Attack Postures—how people behave just before they strike
• Blading the body (standing at an angle, shifting weight from side to side, or shifting shoulders) • Crowding (in your space/in your face) • Making fists (balling up the fists or clenching and unclenching the hands) • Target glancing (looking you up and down) • Active resistance and dead weight (resistive tension during patient moves or routine cares)
10-5-2 Proxemics—strategy for evaluating, approaching, or avoiding patients
• TEN FEET— evaluate for STAMP and pre-attack postures or exit the scene if necessary • FIVE FEET—communicate using the Universal Greeting and evade if necessary
The Universal Greeting 1. Appropriate greeting “Good morning” 2. Name and role/title “I’m Jennifer, your technician for today” 3. Reason for contact “I’ll be assisting you with your procedure” 4. Ask a relevant question “Did you eat breakfast this morning?”
• TWO FEET—Operate, begin treatment and escape if assaulted
Network 11 Annual MeetingVISTELAR - Addressing The Entire Spectrum Of Human Conflict
3
Gateway Behaviors of Violence—pattern of behavior that builds to a violent out-come when it is uninterrupted
Step 1…unanswered verbal disrespect leads to implied threatening….Step 2…unanswered implied threatening leads to overt threatening…Step 3…unanswered overt threatening leads to physical assaults…
Definitions of Gateway Behaviors:
• Verbal disrespect = yelling, cursing, and name calling
• Implied or veiled threat = “Send that nurse in here again and she’ll be sorry!”
• Overt threat = “Stick me again with that thing and I’ll knock you out!”
• Physical assault = shoving, spitting, hitting, kicking or worse!
The Persuasion Sequence—verbal strategy for gateway behavior
1. Ask
2. Tell them why
3. Offer options, not threats
4. Give a second chance
5. Take appropriate action
Ask “Mr. Johnson, Can I ask you please not to yell and curse?”
Tell them why“You are disturbing/frightening the other patients.”
Offer options, not threats“You have some good choices, Mr. Johnson. If you stop yelling and cursing, I can work on making you more comfortable. But if you insist on yelling and cursing, we will have to call security/police (or other appropriate action)”
Give them a second chance“Mr. Johnson, is there anything I can say to get you to stop yelling and cursing before I have to (ap-propriate action)?”
Take appropriate action(call supervisor, security, police, discharge patient, or other appropriate action depending on circum-stance or level of threat)

Mr. Lashley has extensive firsthand experience keeping the peace in hospital emergency departments, trauma centers, residential facilities and clinics, most of which were located in the very same neighborhoods where gang violence and even homicide are a feature of daily life. His experience has led to a career develop-ing training programs, policies, and procedures for the prevention and management of healthcare violence.
Mr. Lashley has provided training and consulting for healthcare professional organizations, crisis intervention training companies, hospitals and health systems and law enforcement agencies, all of whom are concerned with the epidemic levels of violence in healthcare. Many of his principles of violence prevention, such as the gateway behaviors of violence and seven myths of violence in healthcare are changing the way providers and hospital administrators approach the unique prob-lems surrounding violence in healthcare.

Equity and Disparity:Basic Concepts

Health Inequity• Health inequity can be defined as the unfair
and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between various populations (World Health Organization).
• For example, there may be variations in rates of disease occurrences and disabilities between populations, or differences in access to or availability of facilities and services.
7
Healthcare Inequity• Healthcare inequity can be defined as the
differences in care quality between various populations that are not justified by differences in access, health status, or the preferences of the group (IOM).
• For example, African American men and women have a higher risk of ESRD despite presence or absence of diabetes or hypertension.
• This type of disparity relates to the project we are talking about today.

Patient Focus Interviews• Goals:
– To understand what different “inputs” may be needed– To understand why they made the decision they did
regarding treatment modality– To understand how they received information about
home dialysis and from whom– To seek input on what we did well and/or what we could
have done differently– To seek input on any general advice they had for us

Patient Voices• Identified issue of non-nephrology MDs• Recommended more focus on the burden aspect of
home dialysis AND that it is simpler than it seems, especially PD
• Stress that people do better and feel better on home dialysis and that traveling is easier
• Help people separate others’ experience from their own potential
• “Pre-classes” helpful
Patient Voices• Did not identify a race disparity contributor; one did
suggest youth as potential contributor• Nephrologist, social worker, clinic AP, floor clinical team, NM, RD • Gender, race, age
• Did identify as significant:– Persistence, persistence, persistence– Personal, individualized, caring– Speaking with other patients– Clarifying misconceptions (“end of life”, “too much
cleaning”, “always have a partner”, “catheter is size of garden hose”, “can’t see your same kidney MD”; “left on your own”)
Project: Lessons Learned
Project: Lessons Learned• Overall feedback from units was that the
stickers made it easier to generate conversation with patients around topic of home dialysis
• Some clinical people stated they still felt uncomfortable as they were not “experts” in home dialysis
• Some reported feeling a lack of MD support• Some expressed concern about their own job

• Use of peer mentors/other patients is very important
• Documentation is always a challenge but valuable; queryable entries helpful in tracking compliance
• Could involve our acute programs more going forward
• More frequent “unit updates” may be helpful• Likely need more time than project time frame
Project: Lessons Learned
Project: Next Steps
• Implement “auto-referral” process/new patients• Seminar/webinar for:
– MDs, Fellows, Advanced Practitioners– Home Champs– RDS, MSWs, RCs, Other
• Further evaluate acute role• Continued focus on documentation process• Deeper penetration of the peer mentor opportunities
Project: Next Steps
Final Thoughts from Patients
“I just went on vacation for 30 days. Home dialysis gives me freedom. I can eat different
things, more than others can do. When you are on incenter dialysis, you are ‘end stage’. When you are on home dialysis, you are ‘end stage’. I
accept that. I want to live until the end of my life. Home dialysis helps me do that and
I am grateful.”
“Tell them life is short. Tell them life changes in a moment. Kidney failure does not have to be the
end of enjoying your life. Grab life while it is here. Grab life while you can. Take the
opportunity presented to you and go home.”
Strategies to De-escalate Potential Violence
Joel Lashley Vistelar Conflict Prevention and ManagementMilwaukee, WI
Creating An Environment Of Care That Is Incompatible With ViolenceHealthcare is by far the most violent profession. Nearly seven in every ten non-fatal as-saults on American workers that are serious enough to result in time off from work are perpetrated against healthcare workers. But does it really have to be that way?
If you are a healthcare provider, this workshop will change the way you think and feel about workplace violence. More importantly, the strategies you’ll learn will keep you safer.
At the 1:00 PM breakout session, Joel Lashley will discuss how to identify behaviors that are likely precursors to violence and specific “non-escalation” strategies to prevent emotional or physical violence from erupting. In this 2:00 PM breakout session, he will share how to de-escalate violence if the non-escalation strategies fail.
Joel will walk through Vistelar’s Point-Of-Impact CrisisIntervention™ strategies which are specific to de-escalating patients who are in crisis.
In addition, you will learn: • How to form therapeutic relationships that are incompatible with violence • How the same strategies that support peaceful environments also increase patient satisfaction • How traditional beliefs about violence and crisis intervention strategies have actually contributed to the problem of violence in healthcare

Point-Of-Impact Crisis Intervention (PICI) - strategies for de-escalating patients in crisis 1. Reduce stimulation—fewer voices, less light and less sound • One voice command • Lowering lights to a safe level • Lower volumes on televisions, managing alarms, etc.
2. Separate and support—remove them from the scene or remove the scene from them
• Provide for privacy and move if possible, or close curtains, set up screens • Remove unnecessary personnel and bystanders • Summon psych crisis personnel if available • Transport by EMS to more capable facility if necessary 3. Adapt communication • Use their name frequently • Confident and concerned expression • Reverse yelling • Five simple words or less/ be direct/ state the obvious • Pause to allow time to process questions and requests 4. Manage their urgent unmet needs a. Comfort b. Hunger/thirst c. Pain d. Toileting e. Urgent information f. Support person
Glossary Adapt communicationA trained technique comprised of the following nine tactics, intended to both de-escalate people in active crisis, as well as, communicate with people who have communications challenges: 1) cognitive engagement/distraction, 2) economy of words, 3) frequent naming, 4) if/then tactic, 5) latency directive cycle, 6) one voice command, 7) stating the obvious, 8) tactical civility, 9) tell-show-do.
Cognitive latencyUnusually long period of time required to react to a spoken request or command, observed when a subject may require 20 or more seconds to react when asked to do something.
Network 11 Annual MeetingVISTELAR - Addressing The Entire Spectrum Of Human Conflict
3
Economy of wordsThe use of five simple and direct words or less, when communicating with persons who are under stress or in active crisis. Also useful for communicating with people who have cognitive or communications challenges.
External stimulationSources of stimulation that can cause stress or active crisis, e.g., sound, light, voices, reflective surfaces, excessive move-ment, voices and the human presence.
Frequent namingA communications tactic where a speaker uses a subject’s name frequently, in an effort to establish and maintain commu-nication.
If/then tacticA trained tactic used to offer choices to a subject with cognitive challenges during a persuasion sequence. [Example: “First, lie down on the gurney then we can take you home.”]
Latency directive cycleA trained communications tactic used to communicate with persons who may struggle with cognitive latency, in which a speaker waits 20 to 30 seconds before repeating a request or command.
One voice commandA spoken command intended to restore voice discipline at the scene. A non-escalation tactic used to counter verbal overload. Also a de-escalation tactic used to restore voice discipline during a crisis.
Point of Impact Crisis Intervention (PICI)A crisis intervention skill set designed to de-escalate clients and subjects involved in active crisis, composed of four tech-niques: 1) reduce stimulation, 2) separate and support, 3) Adapt communication, 4) Meet urgent needs first
Reduce stimulationA trained technique intended to reduce external stimulation during emotional crises, in an effort to de-escalate violent and/or self-destructive behavior, e.g., multiple voices, loud talking, and excessive talking; excessive light and flashing light; emergency sirens, medical alarms, handi-talkies and loud music; excessive movement, threatening/agitating per-sons and bystanders; excessive clutter, reflective surfaces, and attractive nuisances.
Separate and supportA trained technique intended to create an environment that is incompatible with crisis-related behavior, by removing the subject from the scene or removing the scene from the subject.
Tell, show, do A communications tactic, in which a speaker asks someone to do something then demonstrates the required task and finally waits 20 to 30 seconds before repeating a request or command.
Unmet needsSources of internal stimulation that contribute to stress or active crisis, e.g., hunger, thirst, fatigue, fear, pain, toileting, lack of vital information.
Verbal overloadSources of external stimulation involving the human voice. Examples of verbal overload are: 1.) Everyone is speaking at once, either over-lapping their voices or speaking in sequence. 2.) Frequently repeating the same request or command without pausing or paraphrasing. 3.) Talking to loud, talking too fast, or using too many words.
Voice disciplineA trained team tactic developed to prevent verbal overload. Use of the one voice command is used to establish and main-tain voice discipline.

WHAT: NationalOpportunity To Improve Infection Control in ESRD
WHO:Quality improvement project funded by AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) and awarded to…*HRET ‐Health Research & Educational Trust*UM‐KECC ‐Univ of Michigan & Kidney Epidemiology and Cost Center*Renal Network of Upper Midwest & Southeastern Kidney Council(To include 60 total dialysis facilities from NW11 & NW6)
WHEN: Project pilot started in early 2013 and lasted 15 months
OBJECTIVE: to use resources that would decrease or eliminate vascular access infections (VIA’s) in dialysis facilities, which can lead to sepsis and death
1) Access directly into their blood stream
2) Long‐term vascular accesses create a higher risk for infection
3) Often dialysis patients are immunocompromised
4)High risk for contamination from multiple sources in their unit environment‐ includes staff, supplies, equipment, surfaces, and other patients

2013Total Caths32.2%
Before starting the NOTICE project, WTDC infection rates varied from year to year.
Catheter rates were higher in 2011, causing a higher risk for infection. With the reduction of catheters by 15% in 2012, the infection rate did decrease. In 2013 catheters were reduced by another 9% but no change in infections occurred during that year.
2011 – 19 infections2012 ‐ 8 infections2013 ‐ 8 infections
In preparation to start NOTICE….
Completed a Readiness Assessment – to review what we already do vs what we need to change, and develop Plan
I created an educational slide show for all staff showing the change in technique pertaining to Catheters and AVF/AVG and shared early to familiarize staff
Involved our Education Department who created competencies that were then completed on all unit staff, as well as float staff
Educational binder created for staff reference in unit during project
Educating patients on access care including washing AVF/AVG before treatment
Collected Culture of Safety Assessments from all staff Had a team meeting
•Culture of Safety
•Hand Hygiene
•Access Site prep and cleansing
•Reduce and Remove Catheters

Is key in order for change to occur with the least resistance Represents a ‘safe’ environment free from blame or punitive measures
promoting open communication, MUST INCLUDE EVERYONE! Allows staff and patients to work as a team and bring any concerns or questions
to the team to help improve outcomes together. Examples:
(Pt – Staff) Patient notices staff member not washing hands after picking pen off floor, pt feels comfortable enough to remind to do so before caring for them, and staff thank them for reminding them
(Staff‐Staff) Staff feel comfortable to bring up infection concerns with other staff by not belittling or reprimanding them, but by teaching and guiding them on proper technique/hand hygiene
(Staff‐ Sup) Staff feel comfortable offering suggestions and bringing concerns to the Supervisor without feeling judged
(Pt‐ Sup) It is also important to reassure pts they can come to sup with concerns, knowing the concern with be addressed yet kept confidential, (locked comment box also in unit)
www.coach2clarity.com A 2 page anonymous assessment ‐staff opinions on issues that affect the overall safety and quality of care provided to pts
It includes how they feel the unit works as a team, if they are able to speak up and are taken seriously, communication, effectiveness of changes, supervisor support, etc.
Collected by Supervisor and reviewed, mailed into NOTICE
Done pre, mid, and post project Benefit – helps Sups be aware of
any issues between staff, patients, or leadership style in order to make improvements
Most effective for infection prevention!
Everyone’s responsibility (to do and make sure it is being done by others)
Make sure to have 70% alcohol based hand sanitizer available throughout unit for easy access (staff must wash hands with soap and water minimally after every 10 uses/visibly soiled/C‐Diff /etc.)
Review proper Hand Hygienewww.who.int
Part of the NOTICE project included monitoring for HH being performed with WHO’s 5 recommended Moments.
Access Prior Care Changes we made with NOTICE recommendations
AVF/AVG Encouraged pts to wash arm before dialysis
Staff to visibly see pt wash access site OR staff to wash access site for them with hand sanitizer at chairside
Catheter Betadine soaked gauze with cath caps on –30 sec scrub / 3 min soak / allow to dry 3 min prior to removing caps
Remove one cap, scrub threads/hubwith Chlorhexidine for 15 seconds, allowing to dry, then immediately attaching syringe, repeat with other lumen
Catheters are higher risk for infection
This is an ongoing effort that we have been aggressively working on for years with great progress! Unfortunately, the amount of new pts starting dialysis using catheters is a problem seen nationwide.
In regards to NOTICE data, starting in 2013, our catheter rates have not shown a direct correlation to our improved infection rates. Confirming the decreased infection rates are directly resulted from infection control practices & other changes recommended by NOTICE.

This pertains to the total care while initiating and discontinuing dialysis
Cath AVF/AVGDirectly before accessing HH & new gloves, then start
Scrubbing HubsAfter assessing, prewashaccess (if pt did not), HH, & new gloves before cleansing and inserting needles
Directly after accessing Remove gloves, HH, new gloves before touching machine
Removing gloves, HH, new gloves before touching machine
MISC Our unit already had been using analcohol based chlorhexidine to clean cath exits sites when doing dressing changes‐ Recommended in NOTICE
After bleeding stopped from sites, apply new clean bandage to cover sites
The last part of CHARGE is the Evaluation In order to evaluate we used the NOTICE monthly checklists to audit staff ‐this assures consistency of care and technique
If a step was missed, staff were immediately corrected and re educated in positive way
When observed correctly staff were immediately given positive feedback
Staff reminded that consistency is key to maintaining proper skills and accurate data for pilot
Example larger view of top box ‐
Cath initiation…*HH pre*Clean Gloves*Scrub Hub correctly and timed*Aseptic connection to lines*HH post (Then start HD machine)
This is observed 5 times each month!
Monthly team meetings in unit to review and evaluate concerns
Monthly Content Calls –educational webinars pre and early in pilot
Monthly Coaching calls with NW11 and NW6 units to share success, barriers, and questions
Monthly Data entry into CDS (comprehensive data system tool) and NHSN/CDC for Networks to assess outcomes
Barrier What we did to overcome
Staff fluctuation/ floats unfamiliar with new techniques
*Education Dept/Sup did competencies on all floats expected to be in unit*Charge RN monitored and educated staff as needed
Staff reluctant to change *Introduced changes early before initiated to familiarize staff slowly*Positive reinforcement and guidance during pilot without judgement*Open communication/ work as team*Reference Binder in unit for easy review
Pt’s not liking change or time to make change
*Pts educated about pilot and benefits to them*Sign posted in lobby to have patience while staff learning new techniques*Sign posted reminding pt’s with AVF/AVG to wash access site pre HD and why it is important
Easy access for proper hand hygiene
Hand Sanitizer and Gloves placed throughout unit on charting stations, counter tops, and clean carts to be within easy reach at all times

Before starting the NOTICE project, WTDC infection rates were higher and varied from year to year.
During and after the NOTICE project, our access-related infection rates decreased by 75% in 2014, and 100% as of Sept 2015 data.
2012 ‐ 8 infections2013 ‐ 8 infections2014 ‐ 2 infections2015 ‐ 0 currently
• As a result of the NOTICE Project data in our unit showing significant infection reduction, Purity Dialysis revised their policies for Catheter and AVF/AVG Initiation and Termination
• All 9 Purity Dialysis units in Wisconsin are using the new policy changes
Annual competencies on the new policies
NOTICE Toolkit Audit Form will be used as part of the plan of correction when a rise in infection occurs to assure adherence and rule out causes
Continue to maintain a positive Culture of Safety in our unit with open communication and consistent expectations
Continue to attempt to reduce catheters
With an infection rate reductionof 75% in 2014, and 100% currently in 2015, we feel that all dialysis units would benefit from the information provided in the NOTICE Toolkit.

What’s Ahead in 2016?
28
Healthcare Associated Infections
• Continue and expand our HAI Learning and Action Network– Improving communication between dialysis facilities and hospitals regarding HAIs
– Promote reduction of BSIs in both incenter HD patients and home dialysis patients
• Reduce BSI rates by encouraging dialysis facilities to conduct CDC infection prevention audits
• Increase patient vaccinations for Hepatitis B and Pneumococcal Pneumonia
29
Vascular Access
Network 11 will continue to…• Encourage facilities to promote AVFs whenever possible
• Decrease long term catheters• Conduct focused reviews on outliers• Use patient advisors to develop new strategies• Encourage early referral for vascular access placement pre‐dialysis
30
10/16/15
6
Engaging Patients to Improve Care• Continue to develop patient‐centered projects using Consumer Committee and EPIC members
• Include patients and family in the development of all QI projects
• Participate in the National Patient and Family Engagement Learning and Action Network
• Identify grievance trends and develop strategies to improve
• Improve Patient Experience of Care (ICH‐CAHPS)31
2016‐2018 Project:Continuing Home Dialysis
• Increasing home dialysis referral AND• Reducing disparities• Using previous years’ successes• Increased facility and patient participation
32
Years 2019‐2020:Hospitalization
• Reducing hospitalizations and reducing disparities
• National Hospital Care Coordination Project to be developed by CMS and implemented in 2019‐2020
• To prepare for this, Network 11 will begin to do some preparatory work to learn more about hospitalization claims data with help from the Chronic Disease Research Group and learning from the FMC hospitalization project
33
QIP and NHSN
• Help facilities to improve QIP outcome measures– 2016: Improvement project to decrease percent of patients in facilities with hypercalcemia
– Other years: To be determined by CMS– Potential: Fluid management, pain control, depression
• NHSN data submission– Improve BSI reporting rates in facilities that lack access to hospital BSI information
34
Emergency Management
• Continued emphasis on availability of dialysis resources during emergency situations
• Collaboration with Michigan Bureau of EMS, Trauma, and Preparedness to assist in identifying state‐wide dialysis availability in the event of an emergency
• Additional resources are available from the Network office
